A vibrant array of chopped vegetables adds color and crunch to the dip platter. Crisp cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper strips provide a refreshing contrast to the creamy dips.

SIX-LAYER MEDITERRANEAN DIP



Six-Layer Mediterranean Dip image

Remember the layered taco dip everybody loves? Well, here's a Mediterranean version for you! Very, very tasty! Prep time includes chilling. This dip took a bit of work... I first posted it at Gail's way back in the 90s, I think.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces prepared hummus
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt, divided
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemons or 1 teaspoon lime juice
1 cup seeded and chopped tomato
1 ripe avocado, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup peeled and chopped cucumber
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
4 -6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons minced kalamata olives

Steps:

  • First, strain the yogurt by putting cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter in the bottom of a strainer and pour in all the yogurt but 1/4 cup (reserve for later); let it strain for a couple of hours to thicken it up, or overnight (in the fridge) to make thicker "yogurt cheese" (I prefer it just for a couple of hours; you could also substitute sour cream for the yogurt, if you like).
  • Combine the reserved 1/4 cup of un-strained yogurt with the prepared hummus, then spread mixture on the bottom of a 9 inch pie dish.
  • Combine remaining strained yogurt and cumin and spread over the hummus layer.
  • Toss together the garlic powder, salt, lemon/lime juice, chopped tomatoes, and avocado, then spread over the yogurt layer.
  • Add a layer of the cucumbers and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
  • Add a layer of feta, then finish it all off with olives.
  • Let chill for an hour before serving with pita chips (artichoke hearts are a good addition to this recipe, as well.).

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

  • Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to your taste.
  • You can also add other spices, such as cumin or paprika, to the hummus for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.

Conclusion:

This 6-layer Mediterranean dip is a delicious and impressive appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your taste. So next time you are looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give this dip a try!
